One of the most feared Buganda political leaders has attacked the Kingdom’s administration in Mengo over their new Land Title Registration.
Uganda’s minister without Portfolio Al-Haji Abdul Nadduli has said that Buganda Kingdom’s land title registration campaign is ‘poisoned.’
Nadduli wants the masses in Buganda to go slow about the “Land Title in Your Hands”, campaign aimed at granting mainly 49-year leases to tenants occupying kingdom land.
He claims that the campaign targets those occupying Buganda Kingdom land without official documentation. Nadduli is fearful that it may trigger mass land evictions on land owned by the Kabaka of Buganda or the kingdom.
While officiating Friday at the launch of Centenary Bank’s Cente home loan which is aimed at extending loans to customers to construct houses at Wobulenzi in Luweero, Minister Nadduli said that the registration exercise has been brought in bad faith.
He wants the 49-year-lease revoked.
The Central government also seems to be uncomfortable with the new arrangement. Minister Amongi in a speech at the opening of the Justice Catherine Bamugemereire Commission of Inquiry into Land matters said she was listening to the issues emerging from the mass land titling exercise.
Mr Noah Kiyimba, the kingdom spokesperson, insists that “Kyapa mu Ngalo” campaign has come to save the masses from the “likely losses”.
